Advancing Hydrogen Production through Multiphase Flows: CFD Analysis Seminar in Italy
Key Ideas
- The Department of Applied Science and Technology at Politecnico di Torino is organizing seminars on multiphase flows for sustainable processes.
- The upcoming seminar focuses on CFD analysis of multiphase flows in porous media for hydrogen production with a presentation by Giuseppe Sassone from Fondazione Bruno Kessler.
- The presentation will discuss using OpenFOAM software to model complex multiphysics phenomena in electrolyzers, aiming to optimize performance through studying porous media properties.
- Participants can gain insights into improving electrolyzer performance and enhancing hydrogen production through advanced CFD simulations.
The Department of Applied Science and Technology at Politecnico di Torino is conducting a series of seminars under the Erasmus Mundus framework, focusing on multiphase flows and their role in sustainable processes. The second seminar, to be held in Trento, Italy, will delve into the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of multiphase flows in porous media specifically for hydrogen production. The seminar will feature Giuseppe Sassone from Fondazione Bruno Kessler, who will provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art techniques in CFD analysis, with a focus on Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) and Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolyzers. The presentation will showcase a CFD study utilizing the open-source software OpenFOAM to model intricate multiphysics phenomena within electrolyzers. By conducting grid independence studies and validating the models with experimental data, the aim is to explore the impact of porous media properties on key performance indicators. The ultimate goal is to derive new insights for optimizing electrolyzer performance, which could contribute to enhancing hydrogen production efficiency.
